MonieWorld, a product of Moniepoint Inc, has announced a partnership with filmmaker Funke Akindele as its brand ambassador, saying the decision was driven by shared values around progress, reliability and connection with Nigerians living abroad.
The company said the collaboration reflects its focus on Nigerians in the diaspora who manage financial responsibilities across different countries while maintaining ties with home. MonieWorld noted that its services were built to support what it described as a dual financial life by enabling seamless financial connections between Nigeria and other countries.
Chief executive officer of MonieWorld Ravi Jakhodia said the choice of Akindele was based on her career journey and influence across borders.
“Progress doesn’t start until it moves with ambition, with people, and with purpose,” he said. “Funke Akindele embodies this principle. Her career reflects the same values we’ve built MonieWorld on: consistency, credibility and an unwavering connection to the communities that shaped her journey. From dominating the Nigerian box office to breaking records in the UK and Ireland, her excellence travels. We built MonieWorld for people exactly like her and others who are building lives across borders, navigating new systems, but staying deeply connected to home.”
MonieWorld said its platform allows Nigerians living abroad, particularly in the United Kingdom, to send money home, support family members and manage cross border finances with instant transactions and competitive rates. The company added that the service builds on Moniepoint’s existing financial infrastructure.
Funke described the partnership as one that aligns with her personal values and career journey.
“I am excited to join the MonieWorld family,” she said. “I’ve always believed in growth that is rooted in hard work and reliability. MonieWorld reflects those same values by making sure that distance isn’t a barrier to progress. What makes this partnership meaningful is our shared understanding of what it means to build something that serves people, making a positive impact in the lives of Nigerians in the Diaspora. It’s all about the freedom to build your life, wherever you are and this aspiration resonates with my own journey and the stories I tell.”
Head of growth at MonieWorld Dolapo Omotoso said the company aims to support customers building lives outside Nigeria while remaining financially connected to home.
MonieWorld was launched in April 2025. The company said the product has received positive feedback for its remittance speed and reliability.
